The day before yesterday, I did, beside plenty of PC work, some boat jobs. Among them I got the remote controller for windlass working again. It looks fine now and I’ll check it every few days.

I also could cut an about 1 m piece from a chain to connect it to special hole at the anchor and to attach at the other end of the chain the line for anchor buoy. Then I have again a buoy marking the anchor position and having a line to pull the anchor out backwards when it sticks somewhere at the sea bottom.

In the evening around 2000, Paul, the 12V-specialist, came by and we discussed the approach to the solar panels change at the stern (meaning above the davits) and the Starlink installation.

We also looked at prices I found and he can offer. Result is that I order because I found better prices.

Yesterday, I ordered the solar panels. As for the charge controllers and a display for battery monitoring I found 2 sources, where my preferred source, will match the prices of the lower price source. This order needed a bit preparations, but today I will complete this order.

Yesterday I also got a call from Starlink and could clarify some issues. Result is that when I order before the 30. Jan, I can get a special price being 34 % reduced. Therefore, I’ll order just before the 30th and delay the activation of the account to the limit of 1 month. After this month I’ll change my service plan from “residential” to “roam”.

Today I have a list of emails, which I have to deal with. I also want to complete the attachment of the anchor line and buoy. Thus I’m not bored…
